Amrita Tandon
Art

I paint because there is nothing more I would rather be doing. It gets me up in the morning looking forward to the possibilities the day may bring.
My work is about the pleasure of seeing; and finding a place and moment of quietude and connection. I am constantly exploring new ideas, the subject matter varies, each a reflection of emotions and experiences at particular times in my life. I enjoys investigating different facets of nature and man, from the mighty to the mundane, through the filter of my collective experiences. I do not merely replicate what I see, but reinterpret through brush stroke, colour palette, subject and composition, what sparks my interest.
I don’t believe in tying myself down to a particular style or theme, but attempt to change and evolve continuously.
​
I am greatly influenced by my nomadic life. In my formative years I lived across the length and breadth of India, a sub-continent of extreme diversity of landscape, people, culture and language. Later I lived in vibrant cities like Tokyo, Dublin, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore and now Hong Kong, each having contributed to expanding my creative horizon.
​​
For the past few years I have been exploring what I like to call 'Personal Geographies'-delving into memories, places and experiences that mark my continuing journey. My latest paintings have evolved from such introspections.
​​
I work predominantly in acrylic and oils but make forays into pastels, cold wax medium and colour pencils and enjoy exploring new media.
​​
My artworks are held in private collections in Hong Kong, USA, UK, Canada, Singapore, Australia and India.
